Biocatalysis
Information and Commentary About Biofuels and Biotechnology

Oct 22
The cover story in the October 19, 2009 Wall Street Journal names 5 technologies that could, if successful, radically change the world energy picture, and next generation biofuels from algae is one of them. I would broaden the category to include designer microorganisms of the type being developed by Synthetic Genomics, but in general, I agree. Converting carbon dioxide into fuels using energy from the sun to drive the process would be a game-changer. Let’s hope it works out.
